Claimer: My Blog, My POV

Occasionally, I will mention my job, my public service activities, and other aspects of my life to offer my readers a better perspective on where I'm coming from. But to be clear:

"The views that I express represent my own opinions, based on my own education and experience, not the opinions of any other entity, party, or group to which I belong. I give these opinions in my individual capacity, as a private citizen, and as someone who gives a good gosh darn about his community, his country, and the truth."

SD Board of Regents Promise Budget Scrutiny

The Board of Regents is trying to get out ahead of the meat cleaver, making the necessary and politic noises about budget scrutiny just before today's surely grim budget report from Governor M. Michael Rounds (live on South Dakota Public Radio at 1 p.m. Central, noon Mountain!). Regents exec R. T. Tad Perry vows his admins will take a good hard look at open positions to see if they really need to be filled. They'll also get out a more finely toothed comb on out-of-state travel requests and big capital expenditures. (Sibby will believe it when he sees it.)
